A/N: The basics you need to know for this story is that anything in italics is a flashback. Y/N stands for Your Name. THIS STORY IS FOR A MATURE AUDIENCE ONLY! Contains smut and death so please keep this in mind while reading.


"My husband and I. We never got a note." Pepper sighs after going through the same questions 24 hours after her daughters disappearance. The possibility of her committing suicide was on everyone's minds.

"They've found her body." General Ross announced and Tony sighs, coming to terms with the fact that their worst nightmare had come true "The police are finding suspects." He continues.

"They don't think it was her?" Tony asks. The only thing anyone imagined was that she had ended her own life, but not a single person had contemplated she could've been murdered.

"The wounds weren't self inflicted." General Ross tells them.

"I knew she wouldn't do it." Tony shakes his head. As much as he had thought she had ended her own life, he knew deep down she wouldn't have been able to go through with it. 

"They haven't got any leads yet, but it won't be long." General Ross informs them.

"Thank you." Pepper looks at him, smiling for the first time since she realised Y/N was gone.

"Stay strong. We'll find whoever did this." General Ross offers them both a sympathetic smile before leaving the room.

"You heard him, Pep. We're going to find the person who took our daughter from us." Tony walks over to her putting an arm around her shoulder.

"You know, a part of me was hoping she was going to walk through that door with some stupid excuse as to where she's been. Now her body's been found there's no chance of that happening." Pepper frowns.

"We'll get justice for our little girl." Tony kisses her head as she leans closer to him.

"Did you find anything?" Carol asks as she watches Sam and Bucky search the room for anything that could help them figure out what happened to Y/N.

"What are all these tapes?" Bucky asks, finally pulling a box of tapes out. He puts one in and presses play.

"Hey. It's Y/N. Y/N Stark." The voice echoes through the room.

"Holy shit." Bucky breathes out.

"Is there anything with the tapes?" Sam asks.

"There's a list of names." Bucky opens a folded piece of paper from the box.

"Looks like we need to call a meeting." Sam suggests.

"I'll gather everyone." Carol offers, taking the list from Bucky's hands. She examines it for a moment before heading off to call in the people on the list.

"What's going on?" Wanda asks as she sits down with Vision next to her.

"Play the tape, Bucky." Carol turns to him. He pushes the play button and once again Y/N Stark's voice echoes throughout the room.

"Settle in. Because I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically why my life ended. And if you're listening to this tape. You're one of the reasons why." The tape pauses with Bucky and Carol still standing at the front of the room. The tension in the room had built up. Everyone had different reactions to hearing the tape. Some looked sad. Some looked tense. Some looked guilty. Guilty they weren't able to stop her. Guilty they couldn't save her. Guilty that something they did could've potentially been the cause of her short life ending so abruptly.

"Why are you showing us this?" Wanda turns away, looking down at the table in front of her.

"She left a list of names with instructions. There's 4 tapes. 8 names. Wanda, Natasha, Sam, Peter, Thor, Loki, Steve..." Carol begins to explain, as each name was read out they all looked up, shocked.

"And me." Bucky frowns.
